MIM at it again (recasting)

[Matsuo]

Monsters in motion Have recast my BSG S1 shell and are selling it as their own on an airsoft.

I strongly suggest considering other options before doing any business with them.

they didn't even make a good cast. the selector switch is horrible looking and the entire thing seems like a snub nose. Sorry this happened again.

Sorry to hear that Matt and thanks for the heads-up!

 

[falcon dude]

That just makes me sick. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Clutch]

I'm surprised MIM is still in business.

 

[wolverine solo]

I've never order from them an after this I dont consider doing so anytime soon.

 

[franz bolo]

Who is MIM? What a lowlife scum.

Do they ever go to any conventions?

MiM is Monsters in Motion.

They are a company here in Los Angeles that sell statues, prop replicas, toys etc.,.

They are notorious for reacsting peoples items and selling as their own.

 

[defstartrooper]

Never ordered a thing from them and never will if that's any consolation.

 

[TridCloudwalker]

The ONLY thing I would ever order from them (and only because I can't get one anywhere else as accurate for the price) is their Rocketeer helmet. Even if he wasn't a recastor, the prices he charges is robbery.

Huh!?!?!

Because the accuracy and price is right, you'd go ahead and order from a recaster?

 

[dgasser]

How arrogant of MIM.. I'm not an expert in casting and this is a blatant copy of your hard work Matsuo!! I'll make people are aware of this and highly suggest not purchasing this.

Just because they make a modification to the side so the Shells can be extracted doesn't not make it now yours.

 

[tango'd fett]

That really sucks and i cant believe he has the audacity to say its the only one in existence! :angry
I am a Mod on the Replica Prop Board so will post up about this. These sort of guys are ruining the hobby, i know of at least 2 really talented people who have stopped making props now due too it being recast. this is the knock on effect of recasters so spread the word everyone.

 

[silverskyes402]

This really sucks Matt, your BSG gun was the first thing I ever purchasd from you, and my favorite prop of all time, I seriously can't beleive the would do This knowing that your really the only one out there that made this prop and can blatenly be traced back to you, incredibly stupid on there part!

 

[Funky]

So has anyone contacted them about this issue?

 

[TridCloudwalker]

Huh!?!?!

No, I wouldn't. I didn't word my post well. I was trying to say that the only thing I ever would have ordered from MiM would have been the helmet because the price and accuracy was good. I wouldn't have ordered anything else because of his rip off prices. HOWEVER, now that I know he's a recaster, he won't even get my business with the helmet........which sucks, because no one makes an affordable AND accurate helmet.

 

[Raffles]

Do they actually have any items that aren't recast?

 

[Chronos]

MiM will never get their rotten hands on my money. :angry

Like Silverskyes402, your S1 blaster is probably my favourite prop! (I fear handling it sometimes... )

 

[CustomCreations]

I always thought MIM was a legit company- like forbidden planet ?

 

[howlingwind13]

Wow, I didn't know they were reasters, I was going to order the rocketeer helmet and pack next year...looks like I'll have to find another source.
